Got this as a gift. I have 5 cats: 2 are scared of it, one could care less, but the other 2 LOVED it! Esp. my hyper Siamese. It was great for her cause I don`t always have the time to play with her. The first set of batteries ran out after 3 mos. so I put new ones in and the part that spins around spun wildly, too fast and then quit the next day! I`m leary of buying another one.

This thing is great!!! I have six indoor cats and they actually learned how to turn it on by themselves. One likes to get underneath the cover, another jumps on top of it and yet another will stop it from running and lays on it so the other cats won't play. If they are annoying me, I turn it on. I have both old fat cats and young slim cats. They all enjoy it!! When they hear it turned on, they come running. I would recommend this to anyone. I love it!!!

We have a multicat household. This product was immediately popular for the few minutes that it worked. The battery wears out very quickly, especially if a cat holds down the "prey" and won't let go. We tried 3 of these, all with the same results. It's an excellent idea, but much too flimsy for real world use. It would probably be okay for young kittens.

my cats loved it but aftera month it does not work that great I changed the batteries that did not work ether I can hear the moter running but nothing happens I would love to get another one but it cost to much to keep replaceing it I really enjoyed watching the cats play with it I would tell people my cats loved it but also tell them what happen also it was great foras long as it lasted so sad

One reviewer said it right, TV mentioned old cats getting bored and fat, but the old cat wasn't playing with it. My old cat showed interest, then she almost tore it up in anger. I took it. Gave it to her the next day, she didnt even look at it for 2 days. Gave it to my daughter's two younger cats. they could care less after a few minutes.
